Huang Yi (1744-1802) is also known by his zi (designated name) Dayi and hao (literary name) Xiaosong, native to Renhe (Hangzhou), Zhejiang province. He was the Deputy Governor of Jining in Shandong. Adept in poetry and literature, he excelled in epigraphy and seal carving. Huang was one of the "Eight Masters of Xilin". This scroll does not present the vigorous brushstrokes and bold structures of the original Shimen Song. Instead, it features gentle brushstrokes and balanced structures with a refined appeal, indicating that the calligrapher drew inspiration from the original work other than simply copying the appearance.
